今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 fizzle.

fizzle 的原意是漸弱的嘶嘶聲，引申出來就是逐漸消失，悄悄失敗。Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido called for the military to join him and oust dictator Nicolas Maduro, but the coup appeared to have fizzled a day later. 委內(nèi)瑞拉反對派領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人胡安-瓜伊多呼吁軍隊(duì)與他一起將獨(dú)裁者馬杜羅趕走，但政變似乎在一天之后失敗了。

As RussiaGate fizzles with the release of the Robert Mueller report and the lack of collusion-related indictments, some started questioning the motives of the investigation. 通俄門指控隨著穆勒調(diào)查報(bào)告的公布以及沒有提出與俄羅斯勾結(jié)的相關(guān)起訴而不了了之，有人開始質(zhì)疑啟動(dòng)調(diào)查的動(dòng)機(jī)。
